If you aren’t a gamer or webgeek like me, you probably don’t read the Penny Arcade web comic. For all intents and purposes, it’s a comic about nerd hobbies (not just video gaming, although that’s a large part of it). So waxing on about nerd stuff is normal, albeit sometimes not common. Nebulous fetishes, any obsession to blather over by blog.
In the last blag, Gerald and Mike (or Gabe and Tycho) went on crazy cruise about some weird site that teaches guys how to pick up girls. Originally, it was a joke. Then it was a strange journey – one that was amusing. In context, I was immediately skeptical as Gerald was, and said as much once they started getting farther into it. Enough input and research eventually proved our suspicions – this kind of course was entirely bullshit. Mike and I got good laughs out of it in the end (as we laid eyes on the so-called class plan).
And before anyone I know tries to connect me to this Love thing, I am not the friend they know that works as an instructor there.
There are a lot of very skeevy aspects to the whole seduction community…But then there’s a side to it that’s like a toastmasters for interpersonal interaction. I think, if someone smart but shy went into it with the right mindset, he could take a lot of good from it while avoiding the bad.
It’s the point that people in the seduction community make money off good people that finally goty Mike off the subject.
Aw, man. I was gonna ask if you were, as a joke, but you just totally killed that.
